Magnetic Actuators and Sensors (PDF)

A fully updated, easy-to-read guide on magnetic actuators and
sensors

The Second Edition of this must-have book for today's
engineers includes the latest updates and advances in the field of
magnetic actuators and sensors. Magnetic Actuators and
Sensors emphasizes computer-aided design
techniques--especially magnetic finite element analysis;
offers many new sections on topics ranging from magnetic separators
to spin valve sensors; and features numerous worked calculations,
illustrations, and real-life applications.

To aid readers in building solid, fundamental, theoretical
background and design know-how, the book provides in-depth coverage
in four parts:

PART I: MAGNETICS

* Introduction

* Basic Electromagnetics

* Reluctance Method

* Finite-Element Method

* Magnetic Force

* Other Magnetic Performance Parameters

PART II: ACTUATORS

* Magnetic Actuators Operated by Direct Current

* Magnetic Actuators Operated by Alternating Current

* Magnetic Actuator Transient Operation

PART III: SENSORS

* Hall Effect and Magnetoresistive Sensors

* Other Magnetic Sensors

PART IV: SYSTEMS

* Coil Design and Temperature Calculations

* Electromagnetic Compatibility

* Electromechanical Finite Elements

* Electromechanical Analysis Using Systems Models

* Coupled Electrohydraulic Analysis Using Systems Models

With access to a support website containing downloadable
software data files (including MATLAB® data files) for
verifying design techniques and analytical methods, Magnetic
Actuators and Sensors, Second Edition is an exemplary learning
tool for practicing engineers and engineering students involved in
the design and application of magnetic actuators and sensors.
